  • We always look great when we press high up the pitch and play on the counter. We don’t look good when we sit back and play on the counter.

    Really hope Pioli gets the memo here because it’s really frustrating how often we do that.

    I understand that we can’t play with this type of intensity for 90 minutes especially with the injuries that we have. But 60 minutes today would have been enough. And most of the time it would be as well.

















  • If you want to understand how big of a problem this is… Only two christian players have ever represented Egypt throughout its history. Both did so over 30 years ago.

    Never before and never after has any christian worn the colors of their country.

    And the top officials in Egypt keep citing Hany Ramzy (one of the two players mentioned above) as evidence that there’s no discrimination towards christian players. Completely missing the fact that he played 30 years ago and only made it that far because he had a name that could work as either a Muslim or a Christian.

    I don’t oppose it morally. Corporations should pay as much taxes as legally possible.

    It’s just that football clubs as corporations bring in so much money for the country in other ways as well. Paying rent for the stadiums, attracting tourism to the country and bringing in commercial deals to the league.

    So taking away the only financial advantage that they had means they can’t attract some of the players that they could before. So it’s just less money across the board.

    So it just makes sense to not include football clubs in rules like this, especially retroactively.
